About the campus
The teamresponsible for the estatesmaster planhave beenworkinghard over the last fewmonths and things are really coming together. Ambitious plans to capitalise on the governments T-Level and Further Education capital funding announcedby the Chancellor in the Autumn aremoving forward at Yeovil College. We are nearing completion on phase one, with over £2.2M already spent transforming 20 spaces in our campus to deliver sector leading provision in Engineering and Technology, Health, Computing Sciences and Creative Industries. Much needed technical education and training for the workforce in these sectors is now significantly enhanced with more than £1.7M in new state-of-the-art equipment providing apprentices and learners with training experiences to enhance their knowledge and skills, adding value to their CVs and in the businesses they work in. As part of phase two of our campus redevelopment plans, we have spent the past few weeks working with our scientists, health, social care and education colleagues to plan our new Health, Education and Science Centre. With our architects we have the blue-prints for a further £2.3m investment which will transform our current Ashdown Building into an incredible Health, Education and Science Centre, with four new ultra-modern specialist science laboratories, hospital ward, community health skills suite, dental nursing training lab, nursing and primary education simulation spaces, plus incredible flexible learning resource centre. It will offer students unrivalled facilities to build their knowledge and skills right up to degree level in these industries. This sector leading facility is being made possible by co- investment from the government with £1.15M of T-Level funding announced in recent weeks. To ensure that the health, science and education professionals in our region have the skills, knowledge and understanding to build successful careers, learning in environments that provide the very latest technology and equipment, we are adding a further £1.2m to transform the spaces by September 2021. In just a matter of months these facilities will receive the first T-Level learners who will be motivated by incredible surroundings and inspired by brilliant teaching.
